What is really starting to bother me about many talk show hosts and news presenters is how quickly important and pertinent information falls down the memory hole in the face of a more minor detail. It's almost like as soon as Russia invaded Ukraine everyone instantly forgot about climate change and the coming refugee crisis and wars over resources like water that are soon to occur on this planet. Add these following points together folks, and then perhaps you will get a clearer picture of the danger lurking around the next corner? This is why you all should be talking about finishing off Putin now!:

Putin’s Thousand-Year War
Quote
The reasons for his anti-Western enmity stretch back over Russia’s entire history—and they will be with us for a long time.
Quote
Whether or not Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine ends any time soon, what is certain to continue is the Russian president’s abiding hatred and mistrust of the United States and other Western powers, which he believes left him no choice but to launch an unprovoked war.

It’s not just Putin. These views are shared by the many Russian elites who have supported him for two decades. They have also been a chief reason for Putin’s domestic popularity—at least until recently, when his invasion ran into fierce resistance—even as he has turned himself into a dictator and Russia into a nearly totalitarian state reminiscent of the Soviet Union at its worst. It is an enmity worth probing in depth, if only to understand why Washington and the West almost certainly face another “long twilight struggle” with Moscow—in former U.S. President John F. Kennedy’s words—rivaling the 45-year Cold War.

It seems so many human-beings forget the bigger picture entirely as soon as there is a smaller detail that warrants a lot of attention. Human-being, you are running out of time! Better get your act together! It feels like many just want to keep playing by the same exact playbook even though the game has totally changed! Russia's military defeat in Ukraine is a perfect example of this too!
